In developing countries, the commercial processing of these locally grown grains into value-added food and beverage products can be an important driver for economy and to curb malnutrition, therefore, the objective of this study to analyze the antinutrient and mineral content of thirteen pearl millet varieties. | 2017 6 5 2136-2143 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 6 Number 5 2017 pp. 2136-2143 Journal homepage http Original Research Article https Antinutrient and Mineral Content of Thirteen Different Varieties of Pearl Millet Locally Grown in Haryana India Isha Kaushik and Raj Bala Grewal Centre of Food Science and Technology CCSHAU Hisar Haryana India Corresponding author ABSTRACT Thirteen different varieties of pearl millet locally grown in Haryana were analyzed for antinutrient content polyphenol and phytic acid and mineral content. Keywords Significant variation was noticed among different varieties . to 521 mg polyphenol 100 g and to mgphytic acid 100 g. Polyphenol and phytic Antinutrient Polyphenol acid was found maximum in HHB-146 and HHB-67 and minimum content Phytic acid observed in WHC-901-445 and HHB-226 respectively varieties of pearl millet. Pearl millet Pearl millet varieties were also contained appreciable amount of mineral content . potassium magnesium calcium iron zinc and copper varied from to Article Info to to to to and to mg 100 g respectively. Different treatments such as soaking fermentation blanching and Accepted 19 April 2017 roasting can enhance the bio-availability of these minerals by decreasing the level Available Online of antinutrients. Therefore knowledge of nutrient content of these locally grown 10 May 2017 pearl millet varieties may help in the commercial processing of these grains into value-added food and beverage products which can be an important driver for economy and to curb malnutrition in developing countries. Introduction Pearl millet is small seeded grains mainly pearl millet Rana et al. 2012 . In Haryana produced in tropical and semi-arid region in production area under this crop during karif- India and Africa. It
